Big court relief to Ajit Pawar as assets seized in benami case cleared

India Today  

In major relief to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Nationalist Congress Party leader Ajit Pawar, the Income Tax Department on Friday cleared all his properties seized in the 2021 benami case. The case originated on October 7, 2021, when the Income Tax Department conducted raids on several companies, recovering documents that purportedly linked certain properties to Ajit Pawar and his family under benami ownership. The tribunal verdict came a day after Ajit Pawar took oath as Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister following a deadlock in government formation of the Mahayuti alliance which secured a landslide victory in Assembly elections. In the same year, the Income Tax Department detected unaccounted income of Rs 184 crore after it raided two real estate business groups in Mumbai and some entities allegedly associated with Ajit Pawar's relatives.
